Oh, thank heaven: The city is breaking its Slurpee dry spell just in time for 7-Eleven’s annual Free Slurpee Day.

Though there are still no 7-Eleven stores in Houston, ten Cinemark Theaters locations across the area now offer Slurpees and will be giving them away for free today. It’s July 11 aka 7/11.

So silence your ringers and get your Slurpee fix at these Cinemark locations in Houston, Pearland, Cypress, The Woodlands and more.

You’ll still have to drive all the way to Smithville or Austin to get to an actual 7-Eleven. The chain of stores will be giving away an expected 5 million 7.11 ounce Slurpees today.

It’s also 7-Eleven’s birthday.

“The first 7-Eleven ‘opened’ on July 11, 1927 in a suburb of Dallas, TX,” according to Delish, “when an entrepreneurial employee of the Southland Ice Company started selling bread, milk, and eggs on an ice dock–a far cry from the approximately 41,500 Slurpee selling 7-Elevens now in business around the world.”
